Fascinating to see the dichotomy between you and MOTU Manic, who prefers to open his action figs and, I assume, play with them. For me -- not being a collector -- it's really interesting to see the two different mindsets

No, I don't open them or play with them. I just happened to purchase them all loose and out of their package as that is how I prefer to display them.

I only have four figures, all complete except I'm still missing He-man's sword. They are basic figures that most anyone with an NA collection will already have, but I thought I'd show them off anyhow since they are displayed in my NA custom shelf, made to look like the inside of the Starship Eternia.

It's just poster board with fancy craft paper from Michael's glued to it. The secondary, higher shelf is specially cut by my dad and I to have that angle on the front and side face of it. I have plans for a cool elevator with a working sliding clear plastic door, and I have the parts I intend to use to make it, i just haven't gotten around to putting it together, since I'm not 100% sure how I'll do it.

Pretty cool collection pics, but I think the baby bunny tops them all.

I forgot those were on PB! Yeah he was adorable. My outdoor cats were playing with him, and would eventually kill him, so I rescued, and tried to save him. He wasn't hurt, but the trauma of being separated from his mother, and my unfortunate lack of proper care, despite looking into what to do, eventually took it's toll. It was so cute watching him feed on the dropper I had. His little pink squishy mouth opening and closing. His eyes weren't opened, yet he had his fur, which is apparently a very small window of cuteness.

I was way more devastated when he died than I thought I would be. I guess it just hit me hard that I felt like I failed him, even though they are notoriously difficult to keep alive in that kind of situation (being taken from their mother at that fragile an age). He died slowly while laying on my chest, as I prayed for him. It was a really, really hard thing to experience.

Sorry if I brought this thread down. : / But even though it is sad, I like the story, and remembering how cute he was while he was alive. : I
